Sacred Soundbath: Ancestral memory & Ancient instruments

Ride waves of resonance as sitar, bowls, and chimes weave a sonic tapestry of stillness and healing. Rooted in the traditions of raga and sacred sound, this weekly journey invites you to soften your edges, release what weighs heavy, and return to your truest rhythm.

Come as you are, and let the waves carry you home.

Instructor Bio:

Sahar Farooqui Khundmiri is a Los Angeles-based sound artist and sitarist whose work bridges Hindustani classical music, Sufì mysticism, and vibrational healing. Rooted in her South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Muslim heritage, she creates immersive soundscapes that evoke a safar, or spiritual journey through sound.

Trained in sitar, raga, and voice under maestro Rajib Karmakar, Sahar blends classical technique with crystal bowls, chimes, and devotional elements like zikr and Sufi poetry. With a Master's in Religious Studies, her practice draws from the intersections of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism to create spaces of reflection and rest.
Her offerings range from public soundbaths to site-specific installations, where sound becomes both sacred ritual and living art.
